AndyC Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Hi! Windows XP Pro SP2, SciTE v1.76, latest version of AutoIT: Installed AutoIT and SciTE to default locations on a PC using the installer routines. Used administrator account to do the installation but my normal 'work' account does not have admin rights on this machine. When running SciTE with the non-admin account, pressing F5 or F7 in SciTE invokes a Run As dialog asking "Which user account do you want to use to run this program?". Choosing my current user closes the dialog for a few seconds and then it reopens again. If I select the admin account and enter the admin password the script runs normally. If I run SciTE as administrator the Run As dialog does not appear. I am also able to compile and/or run a script from the script file icon's context menu without it requesting an admin account. Anybody know why SciTE needs an admin account to be able to compile or run a script? Does it use some obscure temporary file location? Or is there some WinXP security feature that prevents one program launching another? So far I have not found anything. Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Aha! After more digging around I found that AutoIt3Wrapper has a #RequireAdmin compiler directive. I guess that answers my question. Pity it doesn't provide a little more information at run time. AndyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
